Fluoride Treatments
Even if you brush and floss regularly, sometimes you may need a little help to prevent cavities. That’s why we offer fluoride treatments. Fluoride is a mineral that is often distributed in food and water to help prevent tooth decay, but if you are susceptible to cavities, a concentrated treatment may be necessary.
What Makes You Susceptible to Tooth Decay?
- Diets that are high in sugar and carbohydrates
- Dry mouth or low saliva production
- Deep grooves on the surfaces of your teeth
- Fair to poor oral hygiene habits
- Extreme tooth sensitivity
What to Expect During Fluoride Treatment
After your regular dental cleaning, your dental hygienist will apply a topical fluoride treatment. This treatment can come in many different flavors and coats the teeth in order to prevent plaque buildup.
Who Needs Fluoride Treatment?
Adults and children can both benefit from fluoride treatment. Children are especially susceptible to tooth decay because they are still learning proper oral health maintenance techniques and fluoride treatments will add an extra layer of protection against decay.
